Brewer Features
Strong Brew increases the strength and bold taste
of your coffee's flavor. For bolder coffee, press the
STRONG button and select your brew size.
A separate delivery path for hot water allows you
to brew outside of the coffee delivery path. To
brew, press the button for hot water, select your
brew size, and then press "Dispense Hot Water."
Commercial Rating ensures that the K-3500
brewer will stand up to the demands of your
coffee station. Enjoy the convenience of a touch
screen, an industrial easy-grip handle, and a
plumbed water tank for back-to-back brewing.
Brewing Iced Beverages: Fill a 16 oz. cup (do not
use glass) to the top with ice and place a K-Cup®
pod into your brewer. Select your brew size-we
recommend selecting 6 oz. or 8 oz. Press Brew!
High Altitude Brewing: When brewing in higher
altitudes (5,000 feet), please enable the High
Altitude Brewing mode on your brewer. To enable
this mode, you will need to access the Technician
Menu.
Travel Mug Friendly: Remove the drip tray to
accommodate a travel mug.

K-Cup® Pod Holder Assembly and Needles
The K-Cup® Pod Holder Assembly (PHA) should be
removed from the Puncture Mechanism (PM) for
TM
cleaning. To remove the PHA, remove the half rim,
then squeeze the two snap tips on the rear of its flip
seat to release.
The PHA can be cleaned by submerging it in Keurig®
Descaling solution, or a vinegar solution (1:3), for 12
hours or more. There may be residual coffee grounds
in the groove and the flip seat. If required, take a
cotton swab to clean the area. Thoroughly rinse the
PHA before restoring it into the flip seat, then to the
half rim to lock in place.
There are two sharp needles in the PM that puncture
the K-Cup® pod. The Entrance Needle is located
underneath the lid of the handle, and the Exit Needle
is inside the PHA. These needles may get clogged
over time due to the build up of scale or residual pod
ingredients.
